Just sleeved and vacation!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeves on the 11th. I'm leaving the 27th of September for a 7 day cruise... Has anyone else been sleeved then on vacation so soon?? We have tried do postpone but Carnival isn't working with us.

What did you eat?? What did you do??

I went on vacation while on my pre-op diet, which was awful, but not quite the same as 16 days post-op. Just from my experience with Carnival I have a couple of suggestions. Breakfast will be the easiest- they will have scrambled eggs, yogurt, and cottage cheese every day. lunch and dinner may be a little trickier, but they should have 1-2 Soups to pick from. If you're cleared for soft meats you can almost always find fish; just chew like crazy. I still would have been on pureed foods so small amounts of mashed potatoes, refried Beans, etc. would all be put to use.

I would recommend bringing a Blender Bottle and some Protein powder. It might be difficult to eat as often as you need to. There is always food around, but with the exception of the traditional meal times, it's all sandwiches, burgers, pizza, etc. So being able to mix some Protein Powder on the go might be helpful.

Carnival may not be very helpful when it comes to changing your cruise date, but they've always been accommodating to my food allergies and if you feel comfortable telling them about your restrictions, I bet they would go above and beyond to help you. But I also don't blame you if you don't want to tell them.

Have a great time,and good luck!

I went to England 5 weeks out! The day after I left, I started the solids stage, though, so it was a bit easier. Are you allowed Protein Shakes? Those definitely saved me at Breakfast time! And I pretty much lived on eggs and cottage cheese during that stage! I'm not sure if this was helpful or not! Have fun and good luck!!!

I went to Universal studios and rode the roller coasters on week. 3. You should be fine...great walking on the deck, healthy choices for dining, great gym...should be a blast. Continue to heal on the high seas!!! Wunderbar!

Instead of canceling or rescheduling cruise try getting in touch with the special needs department at Carnival and see what, if any, options they might have for you.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
